Quote by Vanessa Barbara

“Dona Iolanda, a minha avó teve câncer no intestino. A velhinha mais doce que eu já conheci.” “Ah, mas devia ter ódio no coração. Ou algum tipo de mágoa do passado. Isso aí é emoção reprimida, né?” “A minha avó tinha predisposição genética, dona Iolanda. Não tem nada a ver com energia do mal.” “Arrã, mas a sua família tem tendência à introspecção? Ao ressentimento?” Nesse ponto, Nico desistia. Aquilo era mais exaustivo do que cruzar o estreito de Dover com as mãos atadas.”

“La teosofía fue la única aventura intelectual de su juventud que luego consideró un derroche de energía. Sin embargo, lo puso en contacto con importantes escritores místicos, de personalidad menos discutible, como el anti jesuita Miguel de Molinos, San Juan de la Cruz, Santa Teresa, santa Catalina de Siena, Thomas de Kempis. Una rápida incursión en estos escritores fue suficiente para mí y me di cuenta de que no me interesaban. Los examiné superficialmente, deteniéndome para leer aquí y allá cuando encontraba un oasis. –¿Por qué andas con esos brumosos místicos? –le pregunté. –Me interesan –respondió–. En mi opinión han pasado por una verdadera experiencia espiritual que tú no puedes apreciar. –En eso tienes razón. –Y escriben –continuó– con una sutileza que no encuentro en las novelas llamadas psicológicas.”

“Messieurs, m’écriai-je de tout cœur, regardez les œuvres de Dieu : le ciel est clair, l’air pur, l’herbe tendre, les oiseaux chantent dans la nature magnifique et innocente ; seuls, nous autres, impies et stupides ne comprenons pas que la vie est un paradis, nous n’aurions qu’à vouloir le comprendre pour le voir apparaître dans toute sa beauté, et nous nous étreindrions alors en pleurant… »”

“Daniel suffered through the flames. He lifted his arms towards the sky. He lifted his face. He closed his eyes. “Lord! Lord! I am thine!” His lips mouthed the words, until the gums melted out of his face, and the lips disappeared. And even then, though his body was a flame, his hands stayed lifted until the skin dripped down into the fire and his bones shrank to the ground.”

“Here's what surprising about making sense of our lives in the context of the BIG Picture - ulimately, God's story: The story is not about you - it's about Him. He is both the author and the main character, and he has written you into His story to say something about Him. Yet, if we are honest, we tend to script our lives with ourselves as the protagonists and God in some supporting (or antagonistic) role... Rather than trying to write God into our stories, we would be wiser to sit patiently with our Father and let Him tell us His. We would surely find ourselves in His story and learn that we are not defined by our hurts and sins, as we may have believed. As He tells us His story, we must be will to let go of the stories we've told to make sense of our lives. We must let His story rewrite ours and sweep us up into something much greater than ourselves.”
